I had the same problem on Solaris. I was following the INSTALL directions
verbatim, killed sendmail, started qmail, telnet localhost 25 and got 
"connection refused". Rebooted the machine and qmail worked. I don't why
I had to reboot. But it has worked ever since.

BTW, I am starting qmail via inetd, and not using the tcpserver stuff.
